If you want to catch a buzz, and don't want to go through the trouble of brewing absinthe (most of the recipes do nothing, anyways, as it must be distilled to release the proper amount of thujone), wormwood may be smoked. It tastes pretty foul (a bit like sucking on a penny), though. The best success I've had is mixing it, about 50/50, with marijuana. It really gives a different sort of high. Not quite stoned, more dazed and euphoric. Visuals also seem to be slightly more, but still nothing compared to more extreme hallucinogens like LSD. I've always thought it felt very mystical and natural, but that's probably just because of my associations with absinthe. Smoked on its own, the high is very mild. I imagine you'd get a strong effect after smoking enough, but the taste makes it difficult to stomach more than a bowl.
